Gentle Reader,
Most of us, when writing our first stories, just sit down and write the thing. We’re seized by an amazing idea, and surf off on a wave of creativity.
And sometimes it turns out pretty well.
More often, however, it turns out like a dog’s breakfast, because we didn’t know enough about the craft of writing. (That’s exactly what happened to me with my first novel, Sins of the Father, which is currently being sacrificed over at the Murder Your Darlings site.)

One of the things a writer should give serious thought to is choosing her Point of View (POV). Mostly we just go with whichever POV feels right to us – and often that’s the best choice. But if we want to write the Best Book we can, we have to really understand our chosen POV. Like the YouTube Double Rainbow Guy, we have to ask: What does it mean? And Is it really the best choice?
